There are so many words that can end this sentence, but today, I’m going to talk about the stuff you should look out for when you’re sourcing out for a Venue.

Matching venues to event & what you want to achieve is important – imagine having a formal seminar in the middle of a field – not only does this mean that your events objectives are not met, your guests will suffer too!

So here are a couple of things for you to keep in mind when sourcing out for a suitable venue:

• Is it appropriate? – Whatever event you’re having, it must go in line with the kind of activities you’re going to do.  Your guests’ comfort should be of utmost importance.
• Accessibility: How far is it and would it be difficult for your event-goers to find. If you’re holding a public event but it’s far from any trains or buses, you might want to consider providing transportation. For example, on weekends, the Singapore Zoo would always provide shuttle buses for the public so that they can access the location.
• Cost: Although a good established venue might be good to boost your event, always evaluate to see if it is cost-effective to you. If paying for it means that you will go over your budget, try sourcing out for other similar places.
• Fun Factor: When properly used, this can be a great hook factor for your guests! If you’re planning on holding a Halloween party, get a cool creepy location (think: dim-lighted park) to go with the overall theme. Your guests (& maybe you too) will definitely be in the Halloween mood!
• Offbeat: Sometimes normal places can be boring! Depending on what you’re doing, sometimes mis-matched places helps to package your event up as interesting. Take flea markets at museums for instance. It combines something simple with a simple quirky touch.

So there you have it – some tips to help you choose a great venue for your future events!
